The tags typically consistof an RFID chip placed on a flexible film containing a planarantenna. The antenna captures radiation from the reader's signal topower the tag electronics, which then responds to the reader'squery. The PENI Tag (Product Emitting Numbering Identification Tag)shown, developed by the University of Pittsburgh in a team led byProfessor Marlin H. Mickle, integrates the antenna with the rest ofthe tag electronics. RFID systems involve many electomagneticsconcepts, including antennas, radiation, transmission lines, andmicrowave circuit components. (Photo courtesy of Marlin H. Mickle.)
